The telegram() destination sends log messages to Telegram, which is a secure, cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging app.
Note that this destination automatically uses the certificate store of the system (for details, see the curl documentation).
telegram(parameters);
You can use the proxy() option to configure the HTTP driver in all HTTP-based destinations to use a specific HTTP proxy that is independent from the proxy configured for the system.
The telegram() destination has the following options:
| Type: | number |
| Default: | N/A |
Description: This is a required option. Specifies the token for the bot necessary to access the Telegram HTTP API.
| Type: | number |
| Default: | N/A |
Description: This is a required option. Specifies the ID of the chat of the telegram destination.
| Type: | boolean |
| Default: | true | false |
Description: Enables the telegram() destination to send silent messages. By default, the disable_notification() value is false.
The following example illustrates how you can configure the disable_notification()option to send silent messages to the telegram() destination.
destination {
telegram(
bot-id(...)
chat-id(...)
disable_notification(true)
);
};| Type: | boolean |
| Default: | true |
Description: Disables link previews for links in the message. By default, the disable-web-page-preview value is true. From a security point of view, One Identity recommends to leave it true, otherwise malicious messages can trick the telegram destination to generate traffic to any URL.
Description: This option makes it possible to execute external programs when the relevant driver is initialized or torn down. The hook-commands() can be used with all source and destination drivers with the exception of the usertty() and internal() drivers.
NOTE: The syslog-ng OSE application must be able to start and restart the external program, and have the necessary permissions to do so. For example, if your host is running AppArmor or SELinux, you might have to modify your AppArmor or SELinux configuration to enable syslog-ng OSE to execute external applications.
To execute an external program when syslog-ng OSE starts or stops, use the following options:
| startup() | |
| Type: | string |
| Default: | N/A |
|
Description: Defines the external program that is executed as syslog-ng OSE starts. | |
| shutdown() | |
| Type: | string |
| Default: | N/A |
|
Description: Defines the external program that is executed as syslog-ng OSE stops. | |
To execute an external program when the syslog-ng OSE configuration is initiated or torn down, for example, on startup/shutdown or during a syslog-ng OSE reload, use the following options:
| setup() | |
| Type: | string |
| Default: | N/A |
|
Description: Defines an external program that is executed when the syslog-ng OSE configuration is initiated, for example, on startup or during a syslog-ng OSE reload. | |
| teardown() | |
| Type: | string |
| Default: | N/A |
|
Description: Defines an external program that is executed when the syslog-ng OSE configuration is stopped or torn down, for example, on shutdown or during a syslog-ng OSE reload. | |
In the following example, the hook-commands() is used with the network() driver and it opens an iptables port automatically as syslog-ng OSE is started/stopped.
The assumption in this example is that the LOGCHAIN chain is part of a larger ruleset that routes traffic to it. Whenever the syslog-ng OSE created rule is there, packets can flow, otherwise the port is closed.
source {
network(transport(udp)
hook-commands(
startup("iptables -I LOGCHAIN 1 -p udp --dport 514 -j ACCEPT")
shutdown("iptables -D LOGCHAIN 1")
)
);
};| Type: | string |
| Default: | none |
Description: Formats the message in a markdown-style or HTML-style formatting. By default, the parse-mode value is markdown, which means that the message is formatted in markdown style.
| Type: | string |
| Default: | ${MESSAGE} \") |
Description: Specifies the content of the message. The syslog-ng OSE application will automatically encode the content of this option using the url-encode() template function.
| Accepted values: | number [seconds] |
| Default: | 60 |
Description: The time to wait in seconds before a dead connection is reestablished.
| Type: | number |
| Default: | 0 |
Description: Sets the maximum number of messages sent to the destination per second. Use this output-rate-limiting functionality only when using disk-buffer as well to avoid the risk of losing messages. Specifying 0 or a lower value sets the output limit to unlimited.
The unix-stream() and unix-dgram() drivers send messages to a UNIX domain socket in either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM mode.
Both drivers have a single required argument specifying the name of the socket to connect to. For the list of available optional parameters, see unix-stream() and unix-dgram() destination options.
unix-stream(filename [options]); unix-dgram(filename [options]);
These drivers send messages to a unix socket in either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM mode. The unix-stream() and unix-dgram() destinations have the following options:
| Type: | yes|no |
| Default: | yes |
Description: By default, syslog-ng OSE closes destination sockets if it receives any input from the socket (for example, a reply). If this option is set to no, syslog-ng OSE just ignores the input, but does not close the socket.
| Type: | yes or no |
| Default: | no |
Description: Enable creating non-existing directories when creating files or socket files.
Description: This option enables putting outgoing messages into the disk buffer of the destination to avoid message loss in case of a system failure on the destination side. It has the following options:
| reliable() | |||
| Type: | yes|no | ||
| Default: | no | ||
|
Description: If set to yes, syslog-ng OSE cannot lose logs in case of reload/restart, unreachable destination or syslog-ng OSE crash. This solution provides a slower, but reliable disk-buffer option. It is created and initialized at startup and gradually grows as new messages arrive. If set to no, the normal disk-buffer will be used. This provides a faster, but less reliable disk-buffer option.
| |||
| compaction() | |
| Type: | yes|no |
| Default: | no |
|
Description: If set to yes, syslog-ng OSE prunes the unused space in the LogMessage representation, making the disk queue size smaller at the cost of some CPU time. Setting the compaction() argument to yes is recommended when numerous name-value pairs are unset during processing, or when the same names are set multiple times. | |
NOTE: Simply unsetting these name-value pairs by using the unset() rewrite operation is not enough, as due to performance reasons that help when syslog-ng OSE is CPU bound, the internal representation of a LogMessage will not release the memory associated with these name-value pairs. In some cases, however, the size of this overhead becomes significant (the raw message size can grow up to four times its original size), which unnecessarily increases the disk queue file size. For these cases, the compaction will drop unset values, making the LogMessage representation smaller at the cost of some CPU time required to perform compaction.
| disk-buf-size() | |
| Type: | number (bytes) |
| Default: | |
| Description: This is a required option. The maximum size of the disk-buffer in bytes. The minimum value is 1048576 bytes. If you set a smaller value, the minimum value will be used automatically. It replaces the old log-disk-fifo-size() option. | |
| mem-buf-length() | |
| Type: | number (messages) |
| Default: | 10000 |
| Description: Use this option if the option reliable() is set to no. This option contains the number of messages stored in overflow queue. It replaces the old log-fifo-size() option. It inherits the value of the global log-fifo-size() option if provided. If it is not provided, the default value is 10000 messages. Note that this option will be ignored if the option reliable() is set to yes. | |
| mem-buf-size() | |
| Type: | number (bytes) |
| Default: | 163840000 |
| Description: Use this option if the option reliable() is set to yes. This option contains the size of the messages in bytes that is used in the memory part of the disk buffer. It replaces the old log-fifo-size() option. It does not inherit the value of the global log-fifo-size() option, even if it is provided. Note that this option will be ignored if the option reliable() is set to no. | |
| qout-size() | |
| Type: | number (messages) |
| Default: | 64 |
| Description: The number of messages stored in the output buffer of the destination. Note that if you change the value of this option and the disk-buffer already exists, the change will take effect when the disk-buffer becomes empty. | |
Options reliable() and disk-buf-size() are required options.
In the following case reliable disk-buffer() is used.
destination d_demo {
network(
"127.0.0.1"
port(3333)
disk-buffer(
mem-buf-size(10000)
disk-buf-size(2000000)
reliable(yes)
dir("/tmp/disk-buffer")
)
);
};
In the following case normal disk-buffer() is used.
destination d_demo {
network(
"127.0.0.1"
port(3333)
disk-buffer(
mem-buf-length(10000)
disk-buf-size(2000000)
reliable(no)
dir("/tmp/disk-buffer")
)
);
};| Type: | number (between 0 and 1) | ||
| Default: | 0.1 (10%) | ||
|
Description: Limits the truncation of the disk-buffer file. Truncating the disk-buffer file can slow down the disk IO operations, but it saves disk space, so syslog-ng only truncates the file, if the possible disk gain is more than truncate-size-ratio() times disk-buf-size().
| |||
Description: Flags influence the behavior of the destination driver.
no-multi-line: The no-multi-line flag disables line-breaking in the messages: the entire message is converted to a single line.
syslog-protocol: The syslog-protocol flag instructs the driver to format the messages according to the new IETF syslog protocol standard (RFC5424), but without the frame header. If this flag is enabled, macros used for the message have effect only for the text of the message, the message header is formatted to the new standard. Note that this flag is not needed for the syslog driver, and that the syslog driver automatically adds the frame header to the messages.
| Type: | number |
| Default: | Use global setting (exception: for http() destination, the default is 1). |
Description: Specifies how many lines are flushed to a destination at a time. The syslog-ng OSE application waits for this number of lines to accumulate and sends them off in a single batch. Increasing this number increases throughput as more messages are sent in a single batch, but also increases message latency.
The syslog-ng OSE application flushes the messages if it has sent flush-lines() number of messages, or the queue became empty. If you stop or reload syslog-ng OSE or in case of network sources, the connection with the client is closed, syslog-ng OSE automatically sends the unsent messages to the destination.
For optimal performance when sending messages to an syslog-ng OSE server, make sure that the value of flush-lines() is smaller than the window size set in the log-iw-size() option in the source of your server.
Description: The syslog-ng application can store fractions of a second in the timestamps according to the ISO8601 format. The frac-digits() parameter specifies the number of digits stored. The digits storing the fractions are padded by zeros if the original timestamp of the message specifies only seconds. Fractions can always be stored for the time the message was received.
NOTE: The syslog-ng OSE application can add the fractions to non-ISO8601 timestamps as well.
NOTE: As syslog-ng OSE is precise up to the microsecond, when the frac-digits() option is set to a value higher than 6, syslog-ng OSE will truncate the fraction seconds in the timestamps after 6 digits.
Description: This option makes it possible to execute external programs when the relevant driver is initialized or torn down. The hook-commands() can be used with all source and destination drivers with the exception of the usertty() and internal() drivers.
NOTE: The syslog-ng OSE application must be able to start and restart the external program, and have the necessary permissions to do so. For example, if your host is running AppArmor or SELinux, you might have to modify your AppArmor or SELinux configuration to enable syslog-ng OSE to execute external applications.

shutdown("iptables -D LOGCHAIN 1")
)
);
};| Type: | number |
| Default: | Use global setting. |
Description: The number of messages that the output queue can store.
| Type: | yes or no |
| Default: | yes |
Description: Specifies whether connections to destinations should be closed when syslog-ng is reloaded. Note that this applies to the client (destination) side of the syslog-ng connections, server-side (source) connections are always reopened after receiving a HUP signal unless the keep-alive option is enabled for the source.
| Accepted values: | number [seconds] |
| Default: | 1200 |
Description: An alias for the obsolete mark() option, retained for compatibility with syslog-ng version 1.6.x.
The number of seconds between two MARK messages. MARK messages are generated when there was no message traffic to inform the receiver that the connection is still alive. If set to zero (0), no MARK messages are sent. The mark-freq() can be set for global option and/or every MARK capable destination driver if mark-mode() is periodical or dst-idle or host-idle. If mark-freq() is not defined in the destination, then the mark-freq() will be inherited from the global options. If the destination uses internal mark-mode(), then the global mark-freq() will be valid (does not matter what mark-freq() set in the destination side).
| Accepted values: | internal | dst-idle | host-idle | periodical | none | global |
| Default: |
internal for pipe, program drivers none for file, unix-dgram, unix-stream drivers global for syslog, tcp, udp destinations host-idle for global option |
Description: The mark-mode() option can be set for the following destination drivers: file(), program(), unix-dgram(), unix-stream(), network(), pipe(), syslog() and in global option.
internal: When internal mark mode is selected, internal source should be placed in the log path as this mode does not generate mark by itself at the destination. This mode only yields the mark messages from internal source. This is the mode as
file(), pipe(), unix-stream(), unix-dgram(), program()
dst-idle: Sends MARK signal if there was NO traffic on destination drivers. MARK signal from internal source will be dropped.
MARK signal can be sent by the following destination drivers: network(), syslog(), program(), file(), pipe(), unix-stream(), unix-dgram().
host-idle: Sends MARK signal if there was NO local message on destination drivers. for example, MARK is generated even if messages were received from tcp. MARK signal from internal source will be dropped.
MARK signal can be sent by the following destination drivers: network(), syslog(), program(), file(), pipe(), unix-stream(), unix-dgram().
periodical: Sends MARK signal perodically, regardless of traffic on destination driver. MARK signal from internal source will be dropped.
MARK signal can be sent by the following destination drivers: network(), syslog(), program(), file(), pipe(), unix-stream(), unix-dgram().
none: Destination driver drops all MARK messages. If an explicit mark-mode() is not given to the drivers where none is the default value, then none will be used.
global: Destination driver uses the global mark-mode() setting. Note that setting the global mark-mode() to global causes a syntax error in syslog-ng OSE.
NOTE: In case of dst-idle, host-idle and periodical, the MARK message will not be written in the destination, if it is not open yet.
Available in
| Type: | yes or no |
| Default: | no |
Description: This option controls the SO_BROADCAST socket option required to make syslog-ng send messages to a broadcast address. For details, see the socket(7) manual page.
| Type: | yes or no |
| Default: | no |
Description: Enables keep-alive messages, keeping the socket open. This only effects TCP and UNIX-stream sockets. For details, see the socket(7) manual page.
| Type: | number |
| Default: | 0 |
Description: Specifies the size of the socket receive buffer in bytes. For details, see the socket(7) manual page.
| Type: | number |
| Default: | 0 |
Description: Specifies the size of the socket send buffer in bytes. For details, see the socket(7) manual page.
| Type: | seconds |
| Default: | 0 (disabled) |
Description: If several identical log messages would be sent to the destination without any other messages between the identical messages (for example, an application repeated an error message ten times), syslog-ng can suppress the repeated messages and send the message only once, followed by the Last message repeated n times. message. The parameter of this option specifies the number of seconds syslog-ng waits for identical messages.
| Type: | string |
| Default: | A format conforming to the default logfile format. |
Description: Specifies a template defining the logformat to be used in the destination. Macros are described in Macros of syslog-ng OSE. Please note that for network destinations it might not be appropriate to change the template as it changes the on-wire format of the syslog protocol which might not be tolerated by stock syslog receivers (like syslogd or syslog-ng itself). For network destinations make sure the receiver can cope with the custom format defined.
| Type: | yes or no |
| Default: | no |
Description: Turns on escaping for the ', ", and backspace characters in templated output files. This is useful for generating SQL statements and quoting string contents so that parts of the log message are not interpreted as commands to the SQL server.
| Type: | number |
| Default: | 0 |
Description: Sets the maximum number of messages sent to the destination per second. Use this output-rate-limiting functionality only when using disk-buffer as well to avoid the risk of losing messages. Specifying 0 or a lower value sets the output limit to unlimited.
| Accepted values: | number [seconds] |
| Default: | 60 |
Description: The time to wait in seconds before a dead connection is reestablished.
| Type: | name of the timezone, or the timezone offset |
| Default: | unspecified |
Description: Convert timestamps to the timezone specified by this option. If this option is not set, then the original timezone information in the message is used. Converting the timezone changes the values of all date-related macros derived from the timestamp, for example, HOUR. For the complete list of such macros, see Date-related macros.
The timezone can be specified by using the name, for example, time-zone("Europe/Budapest")), or as the timezone offset in +/-HH:MM format, for example, +01:00). On Linux and UNIX platforms, the valid timezone names are listed under the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.
| Type: | rfc3164, bsd, rfc3339, iso |
| Default: | rfc3164 |
Description: Override the global timestamp format (set in the global ts-format() parameter) for the specific destination. For details, see ts-format().
NOTE: This option applies only to file and file-like destinations. Destinations that use specific protocols (for example, network(), or syslog()) ignore this option. For protocol-like destinations, use a template locally in the destination, or use the proto-template option.
